Credit to his dad since he was 7 years old he brought some tires to the house and ja muscles get very strong jumping over it..
The science behind being blessed with amazing genetics in addition to a more than likely great work ethic in the gym. My mind is blown.

He hasnt put alot of upper body mass on his frame like most other players when they progress to higher levels in basketball. He has put some weight on recently but he is only like 175 not hard to jump high when you are that light.

Some of those dunks and that 360 layup look like something you'd make up in your head but never actually consider doing
I remember a player "David Thompson". He had a max vert jump of 48 and a standing jump of 44.

I hope there aren't people out there still wanting him to 'bulk up a bit', not needed in today's league, but also less impact upon landing, which is where the injuries and accumulative stress happen most, especially when you're up that high in the air so often.

BRING BACK SPORTS SCIENCE
Not only does he have the highest vertical in the league, but because he weighs like 180 lbs, gravity doesn’t pull him back down once he’s in the air as fast as bigger players who do the same dunks. This lets him do things like change hands, shift his body mid air, and essentially hang in the air to delay his dunk. That way the guy blocking him starts to fall before he does, allowing him to slam it on his head.
In shorter words: He’s just like that 🦾
JA should adopt the AKA Mr Excitement, he has brought a whole new flare to the league, I wonder if JA ever studied Mano Ginoble.
Burgundy looking BEAUTIFUL
MVP!!! 🥷🔥
This is not the home for Ja content because y'all only started paying attention this season - save Zach and Perk

shadeon sharp entered the chat
Bill Burr is somewhere smiling about the quick twitch and the slow twitch 💀
Plays just like Westbrook used to. Cool sitting courtside for a game when he played at murray st
You jus needed to put a ad on a 4 min video 😒
For the love of God, please Ja do the dunk contest
Joyful, he is when he goes At the highest altitude possible and he throws, Moves through the skies like the birds Outstanding is this man, who leaves you with no words Radiantly finishes his dazzling dunk After this, leaving everyone debunk Never underestimate this player Tremendous is this player, Ja Morant the slayer
Basically he has great core strength
Drose had an hard looking landing tho
What about Anthony Edwards?
Idk it just don’t sound right I need the goat back
He could be an Olympic long jumper.
i dont know what dude said in the video, all i know is Ja is THE MAN!!!!
Man but you can’t hold what Joker is doing rn, literally Serbian Wilt. I got Ja as my pick for MVP to finish the season. My prediction, post all star break the Griz take the 2nd seed and really start to put on while simultaneously Ja has like a string of maybe 3 out of 4 games scoring 40 for example. Some signature stretch of games to put him on, all he needs. And people are gonna have to concede. Rn it’s realistically Joker, Joel/Giannis, Ja in that order. Giannis and Joker are borderline 6 seeds it would be crazy to give it to them and Joel might not be able to keep this up, already slowing down potentially in the Laker game. I really do think Ja can pull it off but right now let’s just wait and see. He’s got work to do🐻
@ceejordan9649

I agree something like the 6 straight 30+ games he on right now. After the All-star break their schedule gets significantly easier. There is no telling what type of numbers he may put up.
Good work dude use to John but nice replacement
Anyone else peep ja have the curry 2s on in the simulation ?
Is ja more explosive than ant?
What was Richard Jefferson about to say?
Y'all need to stop talking about Morant and that dunk contest. His talents and skills exceed that useless contest.
darrell griffith was 6-3 guard with 48 inch vertical jump..
I feel like his dad or his kid are the only ones who can convince
Perk has been waiting 2 months to hear him admit ja is in the MVP convo lmao
Now do the sports science with Nikola jokic

Don’t mean to get scientific, but if Ja can’t jump over you, then you qualify to go on rides at six flags.
Imagine he was 5 inches taller. He would be blocking every single thing.
Hope he does not injure his knees early due to his explosiveness.

Ja is definitely more athletic since no one could shift like Morant does and then suddenly accelerate and he is by far the better “long jumper”. Ja has the highest vert between the three of them too (Russ has a 40 not a 36 btw and Rose has a reported 42-43). Russ and Drose are more explosive which is partly because they are bigger than Ja. PJPerformace also talked about Ja as well in his top 5 most athletic nba players list. Fun fact: Ja Morant has made more dunks in the past 120 games than Drose has ever did throughout his WHOLE CAREER! He averages more dunks per season than Westbrook too.
